Three-Dimensional Numerical Analysis of a Large-Diameter Surge Shaft Using RS3

Introduction Large underground excavations rarely behave as isolated, uniform openings. As excavation progresses, the surrounding rock mass redistributes stress, support is activated, and adjacent ope...

Combining PLAXIS 2D and 3D Kept the Lueneburg Lock's Century Project Within 4 mm of Its Historic Neighbour

Engineers designing the new Lueneburg Lock in northern Germany used a deliberately complementary combination of PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D models, rather than a single large 3D model, to control a 30 m d...
